The Senegalese delta, like many other agricultural territories in the Global South, is experiencing changes in agricultural trajectory. These changes are related to the promotion of competitive and performance-based forms of agriculture. In a context of tense relations between farmers and herders, the quest for equitable access to land, which is a guarantee of peace, stability, and balanced economic and social development, is being called into question by the arrival of capital investors and new actors that are highly supported by the State. This situation raises questions about two important issues: (i) the challenge of the sustainable management of natural resources, especially land; and (ii) the socio-political stakes related to the fact that land is a sensitive resource, both politically and socially. The situation is exacerbated by the fact that dominant discourses are being built around representation of unused and available lands. The aim of this article is to address this controversy by questioning land-use planning processes and tools and underlining the reality depicted. We demonstrate that discourses around land availability are built upon sectoral visions that tend to overshadow the realities of land use. Indeed, livestock farming and particularly its mobile form (i.e., pastoralism) is rendered invisible by not being considered in the majority of land-use and agricultural policies. Through a participatory survey of campsites, we show that gathering basic information on livestock farming should not to be reduced to technical issues. Beyond that, we acknowledge that these land-use issues are rooted in sector-based and neoliberal visions of development. We conclude by discussing the importance of effective decentralization in financial and technical means and the development of systemic proficiency that goes beyond normative sectoral views to acknowledge and act on territorial development.

与全球南部的许多其他农业地区一样，塞内加尔三角洲正在经历农业发展轨迹的变化。这些变化与促进竞争性和基于绩效的农业形式有关。在农牧民关系紧张的背景下，寻求公平获得土地是和平、稳定和经济社会平衡发展的保障，但资本投资者和新的参与者的到来正受到质疑。得到国家的大力支持。这种情况引发了对两个重要问题的质疑：(i) 自然资源，特别是土地的可持续管理的挑战；(ii) 与土地是政治和社会敏感资源这一事实相关的社会政治风险。围绕未使用和可用土地的代表建立主导话语这一事实加剧了这种情况。本文的目的是通过质疑土地利用规划过程和工具并强调所描绘的现实来解决这一争议。我们证明，围绕土地可用性的讨论建立在倾向于掩盖土地利用现实的部门愿景之上。的确，由于大多数土地使用和农业政策没有考虑到畜牧业，尤其是其流动形式（即畜牧业），因此变得不可见。通过对露营地的参与式调查，我们表明收集有关畜牧业的基本信息不应被简化为技术问题。除此之外，我们承认这些土地使用问题植根于基于部门和新自由主义的发展愿景。最后，我们讨论了有效分散金融和技术手段的重要性，以及超越规范部门观点的系统熟练度的发展，以承认和采取行动促进领土发展。
